Hello everybody – another week has flown by! Slow down year, for the love of god…. Anyway, today I present to you a very tiny look into the magical little Swiss town of Lucerne (click here for my previous post on this charming place). On one day of our 2 week bus-tour an adorable few hours were spent with my family troupe wandering here, the … Continue reading Wintery Waters
Hello again! We’re back in Florence today, for a look at the outer courtyard of one of the many museums in the city. We were unable to go inside the museums, being in the city for only a very brief time – but just check out these decorations! Here are a few more, to give you an idea of what the courtyard looked like and … Continue reading Finest in Florence
I have a university assignment on the go at the moment, so in an attempt to put doing that off as long as possible….today, you join me on a trip to Florence – where the weather was fine, the buildings bright and the squares bustling. My troupe of travellers went and had a look at the Ponte Vecchio and wow, was it pretty! I loved … Continue reading Terracotta Tones
Hello all – another day, another snapshot! Once again the Petit Palais in Paris provided some stunning opportunities for photography, with the bright sunlight and no trace of a breeze making all kinds of lovely reflections possible. The next picture is the same image, just flipped upside-down so you can see the roof better – it’s pretty mind-bending… Have an awesome day everyone 😀 Continue reading Heavenly Reflections
Hello all – another week has passed already! Hope everyone smashed some goals, fixed that leaky tap you needed to fix but kept putting off or just generally achieved whatever items you had on your to-do list for the week. All I have to say is: slow down year, I don’t want you to be over already! At least I have time to look through … Continue reading High Art
After yesterday’s post about the Petit Palais, here is one from a different bit of it to show you the multi-faceted wonder of the place (if you missed yesterday’s post – IT’S FREE TO GET IN HERE). The whole building was lovely, but one of my favourite features was this tiled walkway around the central garden. The colours were so soft and the patterns so … Continue reading Oasis du Palais
Well friends, it’s been a while. I’m the blogging equivalent of a long-distance acquiantance – not around much, but fun to catch up with…at least I hope that’s how you people reading feel! AAAAAAAAAnyhow, here’s a snap from (surprise surprise) MY TRIP TO EUROPE! A Parisian destination today, with much more to it than met the eye. This place is called the Petit Palais, and … Continue reading A Deceptive Name
Another travel picture from a sojourn in Oxford, England… In the late afternoon, on the way back from Blenheim Palace, a mysterious site had been recommended to my family travelling troupe, hence we took a detour to find it. The stone circle in a town near Chipping Norton, Little Rollright, was a little tricky to find but thankfully a serendipitously placed ice-cream shop meant we … Continue reading Sorcerer’s Stones?
Hello! It’s been a while. A loooong while – as always, my excuse is “Life is sooooo busy! GAAAAAAWD!” Now, for today’s pictures – bask in the wonders of a famed landmark in Florence, the beauty of the Duomo or Florence Cathedral… These buildings are always immense, and yet somehow remain completely obscured from view until the last moment. They pop up out of seemingly … Continue reading Hidden Majesty
Sometimes in travel it is the little accidental experiences that provide an incredible memory – as it was with the absolutely wonderful night my fellow travellers and I spent in the little Tuscan province of Montecatini. While some of the other tour members went for a dinner at a pre-booked venue, my small crew decided to take the tour guide’s advice and catch the funicular … Continue reading A little slice of Paradise
